July BYOC

| cristina

It’s BYOC* time at The Lilypad! Such a fun and versatile color palette this month!
* BYOC = build your own collab

July BYOC Buy More Save More

Here’s what I scrapped with it:

Carson Park Papers and Carson Park Elements by One Little BirdOne Summer Night Papers and Sprinkles v. 15 by Valorie Wibbens
His and Hers journaling cards by Paislee PressThe Damsel Series fonts by Heather Joyce and Valorie Wibbens

 

I had a bit of a hard time coming up with a good background for this next page. I tried light papers first, but then I settled on this paper by Valorie Wibbens (I recolored it), and I love the result! I lowered the opacity on the dot papers by One Little Bird so they look like vellum.

I also made a hybrid card using Sahlin Studio products. I love the aqua, pink and yellow combination.

I added some Glossy Accents on the yellow heart to add a bit of texture.

And that’s all I have for this BYOC at the moment. Happy 4th of July, and happy BYOC to all of you! 🙂

New Month… New Team!!!

| cristina

July has arrived.. but that’s not all that makes today special! I have an announcement to make: I am joining the write.click.scrapbook team! Here are the new ladies that have been just added to the team:

Check out the official announcement here.
To say that I am thrilled to be on this team doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel!! Some of the ladies on the team are my scrapbooking idols, and I cannot wait to get to know the rest of them, because they are a crazy talented bunch!

So what does this mean? I will be blogging at write.click.scrapbook, and contributing a page to the monthly gallery (starting in August). My first blog post is scheduled for later this month, so you’ll hear more about it as the date nears. If you have topics you’d like me to cover, feel free to leave a comment!

Goodbye June

| cristina

And just like that, June is gone. How can it be?? I have been MIA for most of the month – due to several deadlines for work, plus my mom’s 2-week visit. I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things, and I started by scrapping with this fun new kit by Digital Design Essentials.

I love the cool designs of the papers, and these colors are so pretty together! Here’s my page:

Here’s to hoping that July goes by a bit slower than June did! 🙂

June BYOC

| cristina

Can it be June already?? (Yikes, this means I am now 7 weeks behind on my Project Life... eek! 😉 But never fear, I will catch up, or not, and it’s all good ;)) The good thing about it is that it’s BYOC time at The Lilypad! I have had nil time to play this week, but I managed to squeeze in a quick page. 🙂

Anniversary Celebrations

| cristina

I have some catching up to do! Our anniversary was a couples of weeks ago, and I scrapped, and I made a mini album! 🙂 All with Sahlin Studio products. 😉

This mini album was totally inspired by the Project Mouse journal date cards. I love how it turned out!

It was so easy and fun to put together (except when I printed on the wrong side of my matte paper.. LOL!). 😉

Are you ready for the week to be over? I sure am, plus Friday is BYOC time at The Lilypad! I love all the gorgeous new products – only a short wait now to see what’s coming! 🙂

Project Life – Week 14

| cristina

This week I seriously risked getting the week number wrong! For some reason, I was thinking this was week 13, even though I had just completed the real week 13, and when I was digging into my stash looking for papers and came upon the Fourteen 6×6 paper pad by Crate Paper, I made a mental note to save it for the following week. 🙂 Luckily, shortly thereafter I realized that this was indeed week 14, and was able to use up some of that paper, which was just perfect. 😉

Most of the papers are from the gorgeous Maggie Holmes collection by Crate Paper – I’m seriously in love with it, and I am glad I cut into it as soon as I got it! 😉

As usual I had plenty of pictures for this week, so I made some collages, and used several small photos.
OK, here are the details!
That gorgeous floral paper is from the Maggie Holmes collection. The washi is from the March PL kit at Studio Calico. I used the Maggie Holmes thickers and a micro mono alpha by Basic Grey. I recently got the pretty Dear Lizzy 5th &Frolic date stamp – I love that it has the days of the week! I used some gelatos to highlight the week on the Amy Tangerine calendar stamp.
More of the Basic Grey alpha, combined with a white Poster Sharpie, to make the title. I used some enamel dots to accent my journaling on this pretty doily card from the Maggie Holmes collection. I think this detail is my favorite for this week! 🙂
Fourteen paper, with some gelatos in the background.
TOP: Vintage Studio Calico stamp, and layered My Mind’s Eye washi tape.
BOTTOM: Maggie Holmes collection, and a stamp from the April Studio Calico Project Life kit.

TOP: the pretty paperclip was in the POP 2 class (running this month at Studio Calico; registration is over) kit. The paper is from the Maggie Holmes collection, and the hearts stamp is from Today Noted by Blinks of Life for Studio Calico.
BOTTOM: 3×4 photo collage by Designs by Lili.
A paper from the Maggie Holmes collection, painted with gelatos, and layered with a tag from Dear Lizzy Neapolitan and enamel dots.
Card from the Studio Calico March PL kit (love how it matched my color scheme!), and a word cut using my Silhouette and gold POW glitter paper — seriously cuts like butter!!
Another cut done with my Silhouette, backed with some pretty papers. I cut the quote using the fonts Naked and Janda Elegant Handwriting with my Silhouette, and backed it up with Amy Tangerine Ready Set Go (Coffee Break); Basic Grey 6×6 Fact paper pad; Dear Lizzy washi from Neverland PL kit by Studio Calico; Basic Grey Fiction 6×6 paper pad; Basic Grey Kissing Booth 6×6 paper pad.

Another paper from the Fourteen 6×6 paper pad layered with a tag from Dear Lizzy Neapolitan. The stamps are by Studio Calico (summer stamp school and PL kits).
